Having Bath?

Few weeks back we took a trip over to this place called Bath, famous because of the 3 hot springs that flows to this town. It's the only natural hot spring in the UK so kinda a major tourist attraction for Brits and tourist alike.

First stop was to the Roman Bath. It actually started of as a shrine built by the Celts dedicated to the goddess Sulis, but when the Romans invaded during the 1st to the 4th century, this town was a hotbed of temples and bathing complexes, and this was the major bath coz of it's association with the goddess and the place being sacred. Due to it's age, the place look like a ruin with a pond in the middle actually... =P, but major reconstruction and "facelift" were done... I think to justify the 10 pounds (RM70!!) that tourist have to pay.

The next place is the Royal crescent. Famous for it's Georgian architecture, a row of buildings shaped into a crescent. As it's difficult to show the shape from ground view pics, I nicked of a public domain pic, so that you guys can see a good overall pic.

Since we've quite some time, with excellant weather, we just walked around and below are some miscelleanous pics.

So since we still had some more time after walking round, we decided to drop by Stonehenge. Personally i think this site is just much ado about nothing.... =P. Just a couple of stones someone arranged couple of tousand years ago.... hei but I'm no historian.... the plains with sheeps around it were more interesting... =P. So that's all till the next update!
